<Raising interest rates to stop commodity inflation.> This conversation keeps getting circular, so let me repeat my point clearly: rising interest rates are necessary for two reasons: 1. to defend the USD 2. to at least provide a real rate of return for creditors. On the last point even if you assume the bogus and false inflation rate (minus everything that's inflating) is only 2%, then rates should be at least that. I submit real inflation is already much higher than 2%. Here's another "rubber meets the road" example (in a long and growing list) of surging input prices.
